Physical size.

Now I'm sure i could take some scale measurements from the photos, that's a bit more work than I would like to go through. I'm wondering what the dimensions of these cards are? mainly distance from the PCI cover plate to the end of the card. Not all of us are using full tower cases. Also I would be interested to see how these number compare to say a GTS250 or the new 220/210 cards from Nvidia.

The 220/210 cards aren't anything special judging from what I've read. semiaccurate.com has some notes on them, and anandtech has some benchmarks here.

But you're right, some size measurements would be nice - I did find them somewhere, but can't remember where now (sorry).

ohh something else that would be nice to have measured is the amp draw of these cards under idle and at load. That would make ensuring enough power supply capacity much easier (under the assumption that you can get that info from your PSU manufacturer.)

Sizes and detailed info.

Would be nice to loads discussed in terms of X amps on the 12V rail, and Y amps on the 5V. or watts if you prefer, but separated for each voltage.

The Anandtech article has dimensions. The 5770 is just shy of 9" with the shroud which is expected to be dropped by manufactures due to the low TDP of the card. The 5750 is 7.15" no shroud to extend that.
